I just read the quote from the DEI Secret Service Director: “That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from the inside.
What complete nonsense. How does she explain that the two Secret Service snipers were posted on roofs with greater slopes than the one left open. This was lack of Secret Service personnel, maybe because of political bigotry against Trump, just like the decision against any protection for RFK Jr. Or was it the mandatory pro-bigotry DEI training that takes personnel out of the field and wastes money just to divide the country more. Remember that DEI was her stated priority, not professional training for protection, investigations, etc.
The minimal that should happen is whoever was involved in making the decision to be fired. That includes anyone that was involved in the decision without strenuously objecting, especially the director. The lower level personnel repeatedly requested more help, but Democrat leadership with their hearts full of hatred said no.

I agree with Mr. Hill that we have incompetence within our Secret Service and Homeland Security departments. I don't see any accountability within the bureaucrats and directors whose sole role is to protect and defend the president and past president of the United States.
I pray for the families for the senseless murder of Mr. Comperatore and the others that we're injured.
Our current government under the Biden administration has failed them and others. It's time to make a change in our leadership for this country in order to have peace and stability at home and abroad.

First, Kennedy is a bald faced lie. No candidate that was deemed a major player in the election has had protection from the secret service. Kennedy is not a major player, this is just entitlement due to his name. Now if you have some peer reviewed articles about any of the failures of the SS or DEI I am game.
I am aware that some people misunderstand DEI to stand for “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” but that is not an accurate representation of its purpose. In reality, it is more about “teaching and ensuring that people from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, sexualities, etc., are treated equally.” There is a great deal of misinformation that claims DEI is merely a euphemism for reverse racism, but that is simply not the case. DEI training is designed to ensure that everyone, regardless of their identity, has an equal opportunity for success. I urge you to conduct thorough research before disseminating misinformation.
The snipers that have been shown on the roof backs were to the shooter or they would have quickly taken care of the threat. They turned his direction less than two minutes before shots rang out and were clearly looking for him. Have you ever looked through a scope this is not Call of Duty. I admit there were failures on multiple levels but to say it is due to it being a woman in charge is asinine.
In conclusion, by law the Secret Service is authorized to protect the president, vice president and other high-ranking officials and their immediate family. Kennedy is not one of them. I am not a Republican or Democrat but I will close with this. I only saw one group saying hateful things the last few days and they were all Republican; they were even going at each other. If we want to shrink this divide it will start with Trump and Biden and I do not see that happening.
